When everything in life seems pointless,
Be it failure, pain, gain or success.
When nothing makes you happy and you start smiling less,
Come to my place,
I will be waiting for you…
With open arms…
Not to make fun of you or to ask few questions new
But to help you in rediscovering yourself
While taking away from you all your bitterness and stress.
I will be holding your hand just to make you feel safe,
And try my best to keep you away from,
Ache, hurt, sting, twinge and tenderness…
Grief, sorrow, anguish, ache, agony and soreness.
I will not lie and say that now I’ve grown up,
Just to prove you wrong…
as you used to believe I lacked maturity in my past tense,
I will not sound arrogant while proving my intelligence,
I still remember how much it hurts you to hear God has gifted you with something less.
But believe me,
When I say….
I will hold you tight in my arms and make you feel loved, appreciated and important.
It does not mean that I’ve solved the mystery of life,
and learned how to spread smiles.
It’s just because you are the one who once helped me in experiencing,
“Life does not always offer a second chance to mend a heart”…
When it breaks…

your words, “Life does not always offer a second chance to mend a heart…” but sometimes life sends a poet to make us pause and enjoy his creative words… 🙂

Thanks a lot. Appreciation from you always makes me happy. 🙂
And I read your comment on my book’s Amazon site today. Thanks for taking your time to share your feedback with such minute details. I will make sure I am going to search for an native English speaker for the final round editing of my first fiction book, which I am currently writing and hoping to finish it by next month. I hope I will find someone whom I can afford soon. 🙂

Well, I don’t personally know any good, professional editors, but I’ll check my LinkIn contacts. I think the ages old problem is $. 😦 Really good, pros charge quite a bit.
I have been editing for local self-published authors for the past two years. But I’m not trying to solicit business, I do this part time and am learning as I go.
I’ll keep my antennae out for you.

Thanks Becky. I am really happy seeing you here again!!
Yes my next book’s ( which is a fictional story) first round editing has been already started. But these days some other stuffs are taking most of my time. Life seems to be very difficult these days. 🙂

If we could all have that second chance to make amends … to get it right the next time. Lovely poem, Arindam.

Thanks Judy!! Unfortunately life does not offer us a second chance and it’s better to accept the truth. 🙂

Great verse and thoughts Arindam.
What jumped out at me are your closing lines, and I quote,
“It’s just because you are the one who once helped me in experiencing,
“Life does not always offer a second chance to mend a heart”…
When it breaks…”
What could we do to retain this awareness of appreciating and honouring all that we have? What could we do to gain the ability to rise above all the competing and chasing that we are taught to do by our societies?
